"The Allies Lave brought to a standstill General von Arnim’s panzers on the central front,” says Reuter's correspondent in Tunisia. "Mritish infantry to the north of the road from Bou Arada to Pont du Fahs have the Germans /m the defensive following the failure of three powerful German tank thrusts.” Admiral Harwood, Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean, revealed that just as Tripoli fell a British submarine sent to the bottom the millionth ton of Axis shipping by submarines alone in tlie Mediterranean.
"Now it is full speed ahead in tlie Buttle of Tunisia,” he said. "The navy is already busy dynamiting wrecks blocking the entrance to Tripoli harbour. e are al present employing the supply system that was used at Bardia, 'Tobruk and Benghazi before the salvage crews cleared the ports. Under the temporary system advanced beach survey parties choose appropriate points, and then mobile beach parties occupy them to unload tlie supplies as soon as landing craft: shove their noses on the beach."
